Paul Signac was born in Paris on 11 November 1863. He realized at a young age he could paint very well, so at age 18 pursue a career as a painter after attending an exhibit of Monet's work. After doing that Paul sailed around the cost of Europe painting the landscapes he saw. He also painted water colors of French harbors. Some of his well-known paintings are: The Bonaventure Pine, Saint Tropez, Port St. Tropez and, The Papal Palace.

Antoine Bourdelle
Antoine Bourdelle was born at Montauban, Tarn-et-Garonne. He left school at the age of 13 to work as a wood carver in his father's cabinet making shop. In 1888 he did his first sculptures of Beethoven, producing authoritative work with an emphasis on order, the spirit of geometry, construction and invention. Bourdelle's son, Pierre , became an artist most active in the United States. Bourdelle's major work includes: spandrel reliefs for the portal of the Musée Grévin, Paris, 1900; the Monument aux Morts de Montauban, 1902: the freestanding gilded bronze Hercules the Archer, 1909.

Gustave Caillebotte
Gustave Caillebotte was born on 19 August 1848 to an upper-class Parisian family living in the Faubourg-Saint-Denis. Caillebotte began visiting the studio of painter Léon Bonnat, where he began to study painting seriously. His country scenes at Yerres focus on pleasure boating on the leisurely stream as well as fishing and swimming, and domestic scenes around his country home. Some of his good works, Les jardiniers (1875), Baigneurs (1878), The Yellow Fields at Gennevilliers (1884)
